INVESTMENT In 1999, investment increased by 4.5%, the first such
growth since 1990. Investment growth has continued at high rates from a very low base, with an almost 30% increase in total foreign investments in 2001.
Foreign investment in Russia is very low. A significant drawback for investment is the banking
sector. Russia's banks contribute only about 3% of overall investment in Russia.
Money on deposit with Russian banks represents only
7% of GDP. Sberbank receives preferential treatment from the
state and holds 73% of all bank deposits.
Strategic SectorsIn the Russian law, there are sectors of the
economy which are considered to be crucial for national security and foreign companies are restricted from owning them. Investments in the so-called Strategic Sectors are defined in a law adopted by the Federal Assembly of Russia.
FDI activity into Russia by emerging economies remained low between 2007 and 2011. India and China each accounted for less than 2% of FDI projects in Russia. Brazil established just two projects in the country.
Mergers and AcquisitionsFrom 1993 to 2010, Russian companies
have been involved as either an acquirer or
acquired company in 13,834 mergers and acquisitions with a total known value of 613 bil. USD.
The number of deals that happened in 2010 have been 3,662, which is a new record; compared to 2009 this was an increase of 12%.
The value of deals in 2010 was
US$100 billion, which was the second highest number ever; compared to 2009 this was
an increase of 143%.
